TS 16949 Automotive Approved

ISO/TS16949:2009 is an ISO technical specification which aligns existing US, German, French and Italian automotive quality system standards within the global automotive industry. It specifies the quality system requirements for the design/development, production, installation and servicing of automotive-related products.

Overview

The global automotive industry demands world class levels of product quality, productivity and competitiveness as well as continual improvement. To achieve this goal many vehicle manufacturers insist that suppliers throughout the supply chain adhere to strict technical specifications laid out in a quality management standard for suppliers to the automotive sector, known as ISO /TS 16949:2009.

In fact, for the majority of leading vehicle manufacturers, certification to this specification is a mandatory requirement for doing business.
